Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ြ has the Unicode code point U+103C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+103C to binary:
00010000 00111100. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10000000 10111100

Description
U+103C, also known as MYANMAR CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA, is a crucial character in the Myanmar language script. In digital text, it holds great significance as it serves as a consonant sign in the Myanmar writing system, which is based on the Monastic Lipi script developed by Theravada Buddhist monks. This Unicode character plays an essential role in accurately representing and translating Myanmar's rich linguistic heritage. The MYANMAR CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA (U+103C) is part of the Extended Myanmar script block, which encompasses characters from 09BC to 09FF in the Unicode Standard. It reflects the ongoing efforts to preserve and promote the cultural and linguistic diversity of Myanmar and its people by enabling accurate digital representation of their unique writing system.
